Well hello lovely people! Hope you’re all keeping well. There have been a lot of sniffles, coughs and colds about of late and I’m afraid I succumbed just over a week ago – hence the pictures! This is what I’ve been looking like, and according to my boys, Marge Simpson is what I’ve been sounding like!!

Quite funny really, you know when someone says you sound like someone and you think…..no way! Well when my eldest came to visit last Thursday, after panicking somewhat as he came in the door (he thought I was really upset about something), he called me Marge and I thought……bang on!! I really did sound like her!! Hysterical!! And then the middle one came in and the other two asked, “Who does Mum sound like?” Immediately, yes, you’ve guessed it…..Marge was the response!!! Then to top it all, my darling husband said I woke him up when I was on the phone (he’s working nights at the moment), as my voice sounded like nails on a blackboard no less!!!!! Honestly!! The sympathy I get chez Dawson!!

All good now though and well on the mend, so hopefully I shall see you on Saturday doing a spot of cleaning with my Diane Gilman jeans on. You know that could be me at home!! I love them. I reckon Kathy holds the record for the number of pairs she owns, but I must be running a close second. I am not however about to disclose how many pairs I actually own on the grounds that such information could potentially incriminate me!! But looking forward to the show. Also we have a fab Dyson Today’s Special Value too!!

Now for the hall of shame!! My healthy eating resolutions went a bit out of the window last week, so I’m not even going there! Haven’t even weighed myself! Hey ho! Tomorrow’s a new day etc. etc. Actually I may be getting a bit of help to get back on track as a few of us are being given a little piece of equipment to monitor our fitness levels on a daily basis (more about this on my next blog)!!! So watch this space!! Or hopefully watch my shrinking waistline! Wouldn’t that be wonderful??

Well that’s about it for now folks! Hope you’re all well and keeping away from these nasty bugs. Still, things could be worse……instead of just sounding like her, my boys could’ve said that I actually looked like Marge Simpson!!!!! Now that wouldn’t be good!!
